What is Origin of the Word Mathematics about?

Mathematics derives its name from the Greek word for learning or study. An icosagon is a shape with 20 sides. The equals sign was invented by a 16th century Welsh mathematician to avoid always writing "is equal to" in equations. Trigonometry studies the relationship between triangle angles and sides. The word "fraction" comes from the Latin word meaning "to break".
